Proverbs 3:5

One of the most helpful reminders is in proverbs 3:5.

Proverbs 3:5

New International Version (NIV)

“ ⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart
   and lean not on your own understanding;”

In a world that relies on the individual gaining as much knowledge as possible in order to outsmart or out whit the next person, this scripture can be proven to be difficult.

It takes some adjustment, like with most of God’s word, to change our normal ways of thinking and functioning in this world we live in today. This may have been easier to do back in the 1920’s, but then again there would still be some sort of struggle to maintain that balance.

Ideally we all, at least all the believers should be able to completely trust God to guide our steps, but figuratively and literally. We should be able to trust that God will give us everything we need to know to be diligent workers and to be happy, successful and soul winners for the Kingdom of God.

 

It sounds easy when you write it out or read it in the Bible, but for some reason it feels harder than it needs to be. One of the biggest things we could do is not think that we know everything about something or someone, just because we have “x” amount of years experience in school or whatever.

Let me ask you this…would you trust the creator of the universe to tell you what to do or what is going to happen? Or would you make your best educate guess?....
